Megan Thee Stallion Says She Wishes Tory Would've Just Killed Her

3:17 PM PT -- Megan Thee Stallion's direct examination continued Tuesday afternoon, and it got even more emotional than her initial morning testimony -- with her touching on the impact this case has had on her ... including the notion that she wishes she was dead instead of having to deal with this today.

MTS teared up a lot during this second half, and she said she was having a hard time having to sit across from Tory Lanez ... whom she, again, insisted was the one who shot her. Megan explicitly repeated that she saw Tory with the gun, and didn't see Kelsey Harris with it.

As terrifying as the actual ordeal was, she says, Megan described how the aftermath has been, perhaps, even more difficult ... noting that her speaking up against Tory has put a target on her back in a male-dominated rap industry, where guys are prone to take Tory's side by default ... and that slut-shaming/misogynoir would wrongly ensue against her.

Meg also said this ... "I wish he would've just killed me if I knew I'd have to go through this." Court is still in session and Megan is about to undergo cross-examination -- where Tory's defense team will get a chance to grill her about what she's testified to thus far.

12:50 PM PT -- Megan Thee Stallion has taken the stand, giving an emotional testimony to the jury. At one point, clearly upset, Meg said, "I can't believe I have to come up here and do this" before claiming Kelsey Nicole and Tory Lanez started to fight while in the car, prompting her to get out of the ride.

According to Meg, as she started walking, she heard Tory say "dance bitch" ... and claims she then saw him with the gun pointing at her before getting shot. Meg says she started to go into shock at that point.

She claims Tory then said to her, "Don't say anything and I'll give you a million dollars" -- adding he was already on probation. She says she remembers thinking about how he seemed more concerned about possibly going to jail than shooting her.

As for Kelsey, Meg testified she never saw her with the gun. Regarding the lack of support from the rap community, Megan chalked it up to the idea that it's still largely a boy's club.

Megan's set to take the stand once again once the trial resumes after breaking for lunch.

11:58 AM PT -- Tory also arrived, with his son in tow -- his kid doesn't have anything to do with the case -- but Tory was certainly in dad mode, adjusting his son's outfit in front of the cameras before they walked inside.
